Some questions from a responsible beginner. Basic info, I'm in the DFW area of Texas, Late 40's. Hunted a few times with family. Have been to the range a few times, and "can plinking" as a kid

I recently inherited several family heirlooms. None are "high value", but have important family history. My mother was the eldest and inherited, then passed them down to me.

I have never broken down or cleaned a weapon in my life. No one has ever shown me how or thought to teach me. The people in my family who had the experience TO teach me are all dead and gone now.

Is there such a thing as gun ranges or stores where you can... I dunno... take classes? I learn best, hands on, being allowed to do it, with someone along side to make sure I dont miss a step/part.

What about repairs?

The oldest weapon is a 20 gauge break over long barrel shotgun, from the late 1800's early 1900's. My great grandfather(farmer and goat herd, from sabanal TX) carried it as a "varmint gun". He also used it to put leather belts back on the drive trains of his tractor, leaving scars in the stock, and eventually breaking the stock in half along the grain, right down the middle along where the through bolt goes through the stock. My mother never got a new stock put on it, hoping to find someone who could possibly repair the old stock(biscuits and pegs and wood glue or epoxy, maybe), to still retain the scars, while becoming functional again.

I also have a 22l semi auto 15 round, stock loaded that was my step fathers, that jams(i think the spring in the plunger/loading rod may be weak), ALL the time.

And finally I have my grandfathers post ww2/Korea war era, Police issue, Japanese 38 revolver, he acquired while stationed in japan. It was dropped barrel first, and damaged/bent something(still fires, and rotates) in the cylinder or ejector rod(that's where "I" think the issue is).

My wife and I also recent earned our C&C's, and have what I refer to as our "throw away guns", knowing if we ever have to use them, we may never get them back. I carry a standard S&W diamond grip 9mm, and my wife, carries a Taurus spectrum 380 apc pocket pistol...

Both are basically brand new, and have only been fired for qualification.

ALL of them need to be cleaned at the very least. the 10 gauge for sure has some surface rust, though I have all the metal parts wrapped in a leather shammie and coated with 3 in 1 oil, until I figure out what to do with it.

ANY advice would be appreciated.

Please be nice? I'm a Noob trying to learn and be responsible. Everything is locked in a gun safe, as we do have a 5 yr old and 7 yr old in the house... I would like to become adept enough to start teaching them.
